i'll keep singing this line if you'll keep believing it.

so here is the weekly update. i've got a pile of stuff to do, and all by wed. it's a crazy first half of the week.

i've just returned from doing field work for my new media project on the Digital Divide. and i tells you; i think singapore society tends to be a little too suspicious of young people. every old person i tried to interview thought i was trying to sell them something and it really didnt help i got brushed off even before they heard that i was liting from NUS and i ...

see. mid sentence i get cut off. for old people they walk very fast.

anyway. i got my data. i'm going to have to cheat a little but the data is largely accurate. so. :) am happy with self.

the week ahead, like i said, looks hectic. and i really shouldnt be blogging but i cant help myself. i like to write. :) i've got a birthday to worry about, which is on wed. i HAD a crazy idea, but i dont think it'll happen. it's crazy and not very feasible. if i had more time i might have been able to carry it out.. but i cannot. just too bad i guess. but at least part of the plan is still going to happen, but it's subject to whether this birthday girl stays at home. (please be home.. please please please ...) isnt it one of the biggest bummers to plan and plan for something and then it doesnt happen? SIGH.

i've hit a rut writing lyrics to rifts. i've got a couple of new guitar rifts that i want to produce into songs, and the other day at jeane's place we just jammed and i tells you, it rocks. jeane's good with lyrics man. :) call me someone of little faith, but i think, even though we do work well together, i dont see a future in a career with her as a band mate. we'll still be friends of course, and we'll be ok, but in terms of sharing a career, given the current circumstances, i think it's not gonna happen. but it's ok. i'll carve out my own music career. about 2 weeks ago i gave myself 4 years to write enough songs to produce my own album. the countdown has begun. :) 4 years. we'll see. :) maybe when we're both famous, Imperfect Original will really get somewhere. :) but for now, it's just jam jam and more jamming. wherever it takes either of us professionally remains to be seen.

anyway. i really should get to work studying for my test. Econs. SHITE.

and. Song lyrics for you. i love fall out boy

Fall out Boy - Sophomore Slump of Comeback of the year

Are we growing up or just going down
It's just a matter of time until we're all found out
Take our tears and put them on ice
'Cause I swear I'd burn this city down to show you the light

We're the therapists pumping through your speakers
Delivering just what you need
We're well-read and poised
We're the best boys
We're the chemists who've found the formula
To make your heart swell and burst
No matter what they say, don't believe a word

'Cause I'll keep singing this lie if you'll keep believing it
I'll keep singing this lie
I'll keep singing this lie
Are we growing up or just going down
It's just a matter of time until we're all found out
Take our tears and put them on ice
'Cause I swear I'd burn this city down to show you the light

We're traveled like gypsies
Only with worse luck and far less gold
We're the kids you used to love
But then we grew old
We're the lifers here til the bitter end
Condemned from the start
Ashamed of the way
The songs and the words own the beating of our hearts

'Cause I'll keep singing this lie I'll keep singing this lie

Are we growing up or just going down
It's just a matter of time until we're all found out
Take our tears and put them on ice
'Cause I swear I'd burn this city down to show you the light
There's a drug in the thermostat to warm the room up
And another around to help us bend your trust
I've got sunset in my veins
And I need to take a pill to make this town feel okay

The best part of "Believe" is the "Lie"
I hope you sing along and you steal a line
I need to keep you like this in my mind
So give in or just give up

The best part of "Believe" is the "Lie"
I hope you sing along and you steal a line
I need to keep you like this in my mind
So give in or just give up

Are we growing up or just going down
Are we growing up or just going down
It's just a matter of time until we're all found out
Take our tears and put them on ice
'Cause I swear I'd burn this city down to show you the light

that's it.

the best part of "believe" is the LIE.
